Out-of-date ... or not?

A lot of times with plaid, the older the item, the uglier it can be. At least some people think so. Not me. I love seeing old photographs of people wearing plaid. Some are so out-of-date, like this 1960s maxi dress. Most people would look at something like this and think, "Yuck! I'd never wear that."

When I saw this particular dress, I started thinking, "Black, granny boots with a slight heel, a pair of black gauntlets, and maybe a knitted beret — black, of course." You could totally take this vintage dress and make it cool today. At least I think so.
